Next To Normal, a “Feel Everything” Musical Drama at 2^nd Street Theater

Stage Right Productions and 2^nd Street Theater is proud to present the Tony award winning musical that deals with mental illness and its effects on family, Next to Normal.  Written by Tom Kitt, directed by Brad Ruder with musical direction by Meagan Iverson, Next to Normal will be presented February 12-27, 2016.  Performances are Thursday through Saturday 7:30 pm, Sunday matinees at 3pm and there will be an Opening Night Champagne Reception on Friday Feb 12 from 6:30-7:30pm.

Dad’s an architect; Mom rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter and son are bright, wise-cracking teens, appearing to be a typical American family. And yet their lives are anything but normal, because the mother has been battling manic depression for years. Next To Normal takes audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting their family’s story with love, sympathy and heart…oh, and bring tissues.

“Yes, this show won Tony Awards.  Yes, this show won a Pulitzer Prize,” says director, Brad Ruder, “but, most importantly, it won my spirit.  From the surging score and the complexities of the characters, to the realities of life’s craziness, Next to Normal is a production like no other.”

The show features some of Central Oregon’s top talent, including Ryan Klontz, John Kish, Steven Livingston, David DaCosta, Katie Bullock, and newcomer Cait Ford.
